pic related is one of my favorite things in SMB3.
When you first encounter them, you sense danger. They're new assets that never appeared before, and they're on an empty room, in one of the game's weirdest levels. You think they're going to electrocute you, or something, but then, nothing happens. It's just lamps.
I still avoided touching them always as a kid, only found out they don't actually do anything later on.

What makes it so weird is that it defies explanation. It's not like finding cut content. These are things that were deliberately left in the game for you to see but don't really have an explanation. Like this broken teleporter in Mega Man X2 is bizarre. It's in a conspicuous place, it's the only instance of a broken teleporter in the entire game, and it does nothing. No explanation of what it was for or why it's broken. The game just shows it to you and then moves on.

Last is god-mode and faggy as hell and requires you to be a good businessman that always buys something for 1 dollar and sells it for 2. Infinite money. Rent one property, screw over the tenants by never fixing shit then use profits to buy another property, and so on and so forth.

It is possible to mix various methods.

There are other various methods that niggers use such as trading e b t for real money at half the price of the actual value.

*Spaced to avoid w e b c r a w l e r s.

Another thing people do is sell weed but at that point you're in no way a neet. Really neither is the god-mode kike-option really neet and also unrealistic in comparison to dude weed selling by the by, of which even with dude weed you'd probably make less than if you had ssi BUT ssi rejects 50 percent of all claims statistically, and worse it is in Alaska.

Blah blah blah.

Here's a rhetorical scenario that I personally like: live out of go-bag on motorcycle using not but your e b t, siphoning gas as you go across the country, as motorcycles don't always require insurance in random states if you wear a helmet. The amount of gas they use won't be all that much missed either. While Obama let e b t be put back on a time limit, if you're applying for s s i you can be a special circumstance, and all you need is that really. If adequately conservative you could make your own soap using wood ash and tallow you get out of the food you ate. [comment long]

salt for brushing teeth, steal brushes and floss out of a dollar section and no one would care as it's not a felony until it adds up to grand larceny, of which is 500 usd or more to be a felony charge. No one will add up you doing that hundreds of times. Then again if pigs want to they're above the law and all, and with 9 ll the second that vi u r uz got being homeless fucked, so you'd have to be in the woods sleeping. your go-bag could have a tent, but the dirt would piss you off pretty fast that'd get all over it.

Anyway, i live with the parents but at first made money via a foster care scholarship that gave me actual money to live on. Last time it was over a k a month, back in the early thousands, but I've been neet for a long time. After that i moved in with the faggot parents. I donate plasma if desperate for money, though my bpm are usually too high. Also I have hypertension, either things would get you deferred.

It's fine if not for how much I want to kill my father and take his savings and live in the woods with them for the past several years. I've added up camping supplies to avoid this white knuckled scenario. I want a gun and a motorcycle and helmet. I wish solar powered motorcycles were a thing but oil go (((brrrrrrrr)))

I rent wifi from a library, some give out hotspots.

I make my own booze from sugar and baker's yeast and various fruit juices.

If homeless i'd hunt bees and take their combs to make booze, as yeast is everywhere. I'd first get an android that could a larger sd card (micro) and pay some private trackers and vpn and such to get lots of tv shows if I were to live in the woods without Internet's social aspects. TV shows and gaming while drinking and reading (or listening to audio synthesised books I made into txt files (using calibre ahead of time)). That could be comfortable if I had enough water. I can't go without an ac nor bathroom. I have a habit of showering twice a day and also fleet enemas due to anal masturbation. So if not for those two things I'd already be homeless using my various strategies to survive. I've gotten away with shoplifting before. Just don't hit the same place twice and don't take a lot, only essentials.

Now days even food is getting tagged to make alarms go off though, not just electronics.

Society is faggy as hell.

I used to walk out of books a mill with shit stuffed into my jacket lining, sex ed books, back in foster care.

The point is, never let them tell you what to do all in all. There's many options. No porn? Fap to sex ed books. Those weird self help books had a lot of, well, weird shit in them. You'd be surprised. Then again it was the early thousands. Stole those right along with peanut butter.
